According to @CoinMarketCap, heading into 2026 the potential end of quantitative tightening and upcoming altcoin ETFs are key catalysts as institutions enter, with flows likely shifting toward protocols with proven product‑market fit and real revenue (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 11, 2025). CoinMarketCap stated that major token generation events in perpetual DEX and prediction market sectors could serve as supply and listing catalysts, steering capital away from pure speculation and toward these categories (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 11, 2025). Based on CoinMarketCap’s view, traders may monitor TGE calendars and liquidity for perp DEX and prediction market tokens to position for an altseason led by cash‑flowing protocols (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 11, 2025). CoinMarketCap added that the ETF pipeline and post‑QT backdrop point to a maturing market, favoring fundamentally sustainable token economics and protocols with measurable revenue (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 11, 2025).
